Romney wraps up overseas tour amid tensions with media

S presidential candidate Mitt Romney wrapped up his overseas tour in Poland, as frustrations between his campaign and journalists boiled over.
In a foreign policy speech in Warsaw, the former Massachusetts governor praised Poland's economy as a model of small government and free enterprise.
But it was his press secretary who captured headlines as he lashed out at US reporters asking questions.

The Republican is set to challenge President Obama in November's polls.
On Tuesday, Mr Romney's travelling press secretary, Rick Gorka, lost his cool with reporters who tried to question the candidate after he visited Warsaw's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
'Shove it' At a public plaza near the memorial, journalists from CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post asked Mr Romney about "mishaps" and "gaffes" on his trip.
